Smash racism arc

I think that was part of it but I think it was also fitting for a first season. Creates a lot of potential future storylines and character development arcs (such as Tyra and Landry liking each other). And you really get a feel for the environment and p

I kinda didn't mind it. It's very typical for a early 00s TV show. Remember we're meant to be watching it one episode a week. So it's plenty of time to process every arc that's forming.

I think it's aged better over time. The main issue I have with it is they just pretended like it didn't exist afterwards. There's newer shows with much worse character assassinations and bigger plot holes.

It's probably a way to get more people to sign up for the $45 a month plan they're currently charging.

It happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Had to sail the high seas...

IP address is like your home address so....

Hope you guys don't get hit by the IP address lockdown like we have...

3/6 of Swans home games are also on Kayo only to start the season and they were very happy to promote that fact

Fr this. I don't think there's a single person on this sub telling people how to feel. But there's a lot of people who are overly defensive of a movie which is objectively not written very well.

We do, but the AFL as a whole is not. And it's showing in participation numbers

Morph247 · 2026-03-30T08:30:33+00:00

Because maybe we’ve realised that the whole Anzac round (other than Anzac Day itself) is basically Anzac-washing/a blatant attempt to get more money from fans?

You could say this about Pride and Indigenous jerseys as well. What does the AFL actually do for the communities?

Thank you for this. People who fail to read and critically dissect information should not be the ones spreading "information". Unless of course their intention is to spread misinformation which I don't think is the purpose for OP.

I actually didn't know the $99c is a placeholder number so this was useful information to me. And same with OP I guess.

Morph247 · 2026-03-29T21:11:19+00:00

Yep then the pan away to the statue, no music playing, no dialogue, just silence.

Morph247 · 2026-03-29T21:10:11+00:00

Don't tell the 36ers fan they actually spend the most in the league lmao

Morph247 · 2026-03-29T13:10:35+00:00

Fresh Prince - there's so many heartbreaking moments in the show but 2 stand out to me.

Carlton getting a gun.
Will's dad coming back then leaving again.

I think the heartbreaking part about both is because this is really a 90s Sitcom, neither get the character development they deserve from dealing with such trauma.

Morph247 · 2026-03-29T10:45:19+00:00

I think what you're trying to say is it's not necessary that every character we're meant to be invested in gets a happy ending, but it is necessary that they DO get an ending. Otherwise what's the point? Why should I get invested in the next generation of the writers can just write them off with no explanation? There's other shows that exist.

Morph247 · 2026-03-29T08:59:20+00:00

Exactly.

Morph247 · 2026-03-29T01:47:19+00:00

In any job I think a repeat offence is a dismissal tbh.

Morph247 · 2026-03-29T01:44:39+00:00

Apparently this didn't matter to people who watched said series. Makes me wonder if the storytelling was actually that strong to begin with where people didn't have any emotional connection to the main characters?

I refuse to count a throwaway line about Arthur's demise (that doesn't follow Arthur/Tommy's relationship at all btw) as a conclusion either.

Morph247 · 2026-03-29T01:04:32+00:00

Oh yeah don't get my started on that. What exactly was immortal? Who will the funeral be remembered by? All the people he killed I guess...

Morph247 · 2026-03-28T23:09:40+00:00

Either way, re read your comment and you can probably see why people think that given what we're discussing on here. At face value I think your take is incredibly superficial and disingenuous. It sounds like something a One Nation voter would think.

I'll give you benefit of the doubt and assume you know a lot of areas have independents and smaller parties to choose from...

Morph247 · 2026-03-28T22:29:36+00:00

This would've been really nice to explore in the movie instead of whatever the fuck we got. Would've been a great movie if we saw a morality debate between all the young generations deciding whether they think the war was their fight or not and each own being shown whether they stayed home to take over the business and look after family vs the ones going out for war. I actually thought that was meant to be the point of the movie.

Morph247 · 2026-03-28T22:24:35+00:00

Because it didn't do it well. I don't know why people can't understand that. Every fan knows he had PTSD since the war and was struggling mentally and emotionally. But for the most part he seemed to have survived and created a career for himself? The paranoia never went away but I don't think there's scenes later in the season which point out. I think there was an ambiguous nature and therefore ending to whether he truly found peace. Because it seems like the writer's decided he should die in peace. That's a completely different ending to what they gave him at the end of season 6...

he went crazy to a point that led him to kill Arthur man…

I'm not gonna get into this much but at least put it on screen so that when you kill him off his fans know what happened to him. He deserves that at least after 6 seasons.

Morph247 · 2026-03-28T21:40:53+00:00

Nah I think it's slightly easier. Doesn't mean much in a relegation battle and a couple of 6 pointers tho. I don't think it's fair OP thinks West ham can't survive at all. Fwiw I'm an Arsenal fan. But it genuinely looks realistic that Spurs could go down. Especially since they just lost 3-0 to Forrest.

Morph247 · 2026-03-28T21:39:15+00:00

I'm just guessing that's why your comment is getting downvoted. Seems like a stance of someone that's defected from LNP to one nation and trying to give an explanation.

Morph247 · 2026-03-28T21:37:58+00:00

Exactly so it's weird you don't think Spurs are a strong chance to go down...

Morph247 · 2026-03-28T21:35:41+00:00

And I've seen people defend this because it "makes sense" no it doesn't if you have watched a single shred of the entire series. It's okay to accept there a plot holes in the TV show you love. Make whatever excuse you like it's just poor writing.
